Qualcomm files suit to block iPhone sales in China

Qualcomm's been in hot water ever since the beginning of 2017 when Apple issued an antitrust lawsuit against the company, and the battle between the two has been playing out ever since. Qualcomm previously requested an iPhone ban in the United States.

Qualcomm's filings follow Apple's release of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus last month. The chip maker has reportedly filed a lawsuit against Apple in China in an effort to block the sale and manufacturing of iPhones in the country.

The lawsuits, which cited patent infringement, were filed in a Beijing intellectual property court on September 29.

"Apple employs technologies invented by Qualcomm without paying for them", Qualcomm spokesperson Christine Trimble told Bloomberg. Qualcomm's suit in China is based on three non-standard essential patents that allegedly cover power management and touch-screen technology like Force Touch used in current iPhones. The inventions "are a few examples of the many Qualcomm technologies that Apple uses to improve its devices and increase its profits", Trimble claims.
